Daddy long-legs are the most dangerous spiders.
Their venum is worse then a black widows, but they're too small to bite us. |

Indeed, their fangs cannot pierce the skin.

THEY ARE NOT SPIDERS LOL, only in the spider family
also youre wrong
In 2004, the Discovery Channel show MythBusters set out to test the daddy long-legs myth (Season 1, Episode 13 "Buried in Concrete"). After measuring the spider's fangs at approximately 0.25 mm (average human skin thickness varies from about 0.5mm to 4mm), the show's host was apparently bitten, although the bite produced little more than a mild short-lived burning sensation. This appears to confirm the suspicion that pholcids can penetrate human skin, but that their venom is practically harmless to humans. Additionally, recent research by Alan Van Dyke has shown that pholcid venom is actually relatively weak in its effects on insects as well |
